I also mounted Michelin 205/65R16 Energy Saver A/S tires on my Celica to help with the gearing, removing some non LRR 205/50R16s. Went from 24" to 26.5", noticably higher gearing on takeoffs. I did not do ABA testing, but on my commute I immediately noticed a over 10% increase in MPG with no other changes made. Tanks went from 29min-32max to 34min-36max. Look between January and Febuary on my fuel log. Only downside is light rubbing at 100% steering lock (95% is fine, just not 100%). Also my car was so low to begin with raising it 1" helps with scraping.
